Low quality has kept me away from IPTV for ages. I've been on and use private trackers for ages, I'd rather have full quality. It's funny because half the stuff I pirate I also pay for, but every streaming site nowadays applies some level of down-sampling despite my >1gbps bandwidth being more than capable of handling the full quality stream 🤷♀️
That, and I can use one search bar and instantly pull up every title without having to first figure out what service has it this week, or if they have all the episodes/seasons. Often with better...
That, and I can use one search bar and instantly pull up every title without having to first figure out what service has it this week, or if they have all the episodes/seasons. Often with better subtitles.
The miniscule time spent downloading instead of streaming is heavily compensated by that simple feature.
That and I can then copy it onto a USB stick and plug it into my projector instead of needing to run a wire.

I get m3u playlists of global channels from an old satellite-hacking forum. As you described, the quality of these temporary thieved-from-thieves streams is hit or miss at best. I would in no way want to rely on them for entertainment or education on current events. Their use as such seems relegated to nations like Brazil and Argentina where affordable availability of more legal methods is nowhere to be seen.
That said, it's a wonderful curiosity. Being able to bounce around through thousands of TV channels from all over the world is pretty magical. The sheer amount of amusement in seeing how diverse cultures put on TV productions is worth the tech nightmare of getting it to work. I'm especially fond of local broadcast channels in India and the Middle East; religion is a central cultural focus there and it colors every last frame in exotica.
I think all of that stuff is awesome. I use kodi because I barely ever watch tv, so why pay for it? We watch movies whenever family comes over, and I gotta say kodi + seren + real debrid = amazing...

I would recommend this or IPTV for anyone that just casually watches TV and doesn't care if every show they want is available at all times.
Also kodi doesn't even crash now that I've dedicated a computer to it, and the xbox controller is a perfect wireless remote.
